Our Summer 2018 issue is here early!
As I was setting up these creative pieces, I realized that three of them have “after” in their titles, and that sense of living after something—death, cancer, shootings, addiction—permeates the whole issue.
Issue 11 features new poetry and short prose by Christopher Todd Anderson, Rachel Barton, Carol Blessing, Rhiannon Conley, Alex Creece, Priscilla Frake, John Fry, R. McCraw Helms, Melissa Fite Johnson, C. Ann Kodra, George Longenecker, Marjorie Maddox, Mary Panke, Jennifer Saunders, Sara Moore Wagner, Sarah Broussard Weaver, and Shannon K. Winston.
We’ve got two new pedagogy papers for our Teachers’ Lounge: a bad poem contest from Elizabeth Bodien and a lesson on teaching creative writing at a retirement home from Rob Roensch.
This issue also features reviews of new poetry collections by Kaveh Akbar, Margaret Rozga, Cynthia Neely, and Jim Landwehr. Thanks to Seth Copeland, Kathleen Fagley, Siham Karami, and Kathrine Yets for giving us these intimate glimpses into work that moved them.
We hope the writing in this issue will move you, trouble you, rejuvenate you, and prompt you to do something meaningful after.
